THE  NATIONAL  ART  COMMITTEE 


ORGANIZATION 

In  the  Spring  of  iqiq  it  became  evident  to  several 
lo\ers  of  American  art  that  if  the  United  States  was 
to  have  a  pictorial  record  of  the  World  War  it  would 
be  necessary  immediately  to  send  artists  to  Europe 
for  that  purpose. 

The  interest  of  a  number  of  the  distinguished 
leaders  of  America  and  of  the  Allied  Nations  was 
enlisted  and  their  consent  secured  for  the  painting 
of  the  portraits  by  prominent  American  artists. 

With  the  endorsement  of  the  Smithsonian  Insti- 
tution as  custodian  of  the  National  Gallery  of  Art, 
The  American  Federation  of  Arts,  and  the  American 
Mission  to  Negotiate  Peace  then  in  session  at  Paris, 
the  National  Art  Committee  came  into  being  for  the 
purpose  of  carrying  out  this  idea  and  thus  initiating 
and  establishing  at  Washington  the  National  Portrait 
Gallery.

THE    PRESENTATION   PLAN 

That  the  gift  of  these  paintings  to  the  National 
Portrait  Gallery  might  be  thoroughly  National  in 
character,  it  was  decided  that  a  group  of  these  por- 
traits, financed  by  the  art  patrons  of  any  City, would 
be  inscribed  as  presented  to  the  National  Portrait 
Gallery  by  that  City  and  that  a  representative  of 
that  City  should  become  an  honorary  member  of  the 
National  Art  Committee.  It  was  further  decided 
that  a  tablet  or  other  permanent  record  in  the  Na- 
tional Portrait  Gallery  should  bear  the  names  of  the 
members  of  the  National  Art  Committee,  including 
the  chairmen  of  all  local  committees;  and  that  there 
should  be  a  record  of  the  name  of  each  subscriber  to 
the  purchase  fund. 

The  cities  which,  to  date,  have  made  reservations 
for  presentations  are:  Chicago,  Cincinnati,  Cle\'eland, 
New  ^'ork  and  San  Francisco.
